Meeting Description:
UPDATE:
Since the COVID-19 pandemic is showing signs of exacerbation in various parts
of the world and travelling remains complicated or even impossible, we have
decided to postpone our conference in the hope that the participants will be
able to gather in Tallinn on 7–8 October 2021. Having also considered a fully
virtual conference, we favour the option of in-person communication.
Therefore, the deadline for abstract submission has also been extended. The
important dates can be found below. The most actual information of the
conference is at any time available at https://nataclang2020.com.
Description:
The European Union promotes multilingualism and cultural diversity. However,
English has become a predominant language in scientific research and
publishing, whereas the internationalisation of higher education is often
reduced to using more and more English as a language of instruction at
universities.
The Centre for Academic Estonian at the Tallinn University gladly invites to
the second international conference National languages in academic research
and higher education. The conference is supported by the Estonian Ministry of
Education and Research, the Nordic Council of Ministers' Office in Estonia and
the European Association for Terminology.
The aim of the event is to confer on the current situation of national
languages in the globalising world of science, dealing with every kind of
achievements and problems of using national or state languages in academia. We
welcome discussion on contemporary tendencies of using diverse mother tongues
for academic research and higher education of any speciality, and on different
solutions on how to reach a sustainable balance between national and
international, multilingual scientific work and communication.
Keynote speakers:
Prof Annette de Groot, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Prof Rainer Enrique Hamel, Metropolitan Autonomous University, Mexico
Dr Kerttu Rozenvalde, Latvian Language Agency, Latvia
Prof Vera Schwach, Nordic Institute for Studies in Innovation, Research and
Education, Norway
Call for Papers:
We kindly invite contributions on topics that include, but are not limited to:
- inter-language impact on (specialised) vocabulary and grammatical structure
- interaction of academic and general language within a national language
- characteristics of language in university textbooks (excl. English)
- usage of a national language in theses or their summaries (if the thesis is
written in English or other non-national language) of any level of higher
education
- how to create scientifically precise and fluent academic texts and how to
teach academic language
- developing and disseminating scientific terms in a national language other
than English
- translating and editing of scientific texts
- developments in national or state language policies for academic research
and higher education
Abstracts for a 20 min (+ discussion) paper or poster (A0, A1) are welcomed in
either .docx or .odt format. The abstract should not exceed 2500 characters
(excl. references). Please submit your abstract to NatAcLang2020 at tlu.ee and
specify whether you would prefer to present a talk or poster or have no
preference.
We welcome proposals for symposia or workshops (both 60–90 min). A symposium
is preferably a scholarly debate over ideas, theories etc.; in a workshop you
search solutions for a certain task (e.g., coining new terms, improving the
termstock* of a subject field, renewing or creating a university course or
curriculum of an academic language, excl. English). The initiator is expected
to enrol 2–3 co-participants, others are welcomed to propose their
contributions.
NEW Important Dates:
April 15, 2021: Proposals for symposia or workshops; April 25, decision
